Surf City Highlights - May 2017 -
Love Grows By Giving

A definite teaching moment at the Golden View Elementary School, as the HB Tree Society took the lead with school kids, school staff, community members and the Superintendent of the OVSD, as new green was made part of the popular farm at Golden View.

A cloudy, overcast day provided a more somber Run this year. The Members of the 3-1 Marines were deployed this year and was not with the organization/City who adopted them and conduct this fundraising event in their honor. In their place, the wives and children of the Thundering Third was featured as thoughts loomed large on the recent loss of 3-1 co- founder and former HB Councilman and Mayor, Gil Coerper and the former 3-1 executive director, Cindy Cross. It was still a morning that demonstrates the enormous support the adopted Marines and their families have in Huntington Beach.

The Huntington Beach Youth Shelter, a Community Services Program contributor, held a lavish and well-received fundraiser at the Hyatt Regency Resort & Spa. Silent and live auctions were only highlighted by the donated food and wine from area restaurants and wineries.

The Assistance League of Huntington Beach reached record levels of attendance and donations during this year’s fundraiser that goes toward 15 philanthropic programs in our communities...Here is the highlight in pictures by and music. Pictures courtesy of Ami Racin
